Wait? I was _really_ expecting the .hidden file to support patterns. If the current specification does not allow it, what is the actual use case then? Wouldn't it make sense to discuss adding patterns?
Directory reading is already unbelievable slow due to several levels of abstraction, caching, and sorting, and checking if an entry contains a * or ? character before matching should be worth considering the usefulness. Additionally, that needs only be done if the .hidden file is present at all.
I cannot see how anyone would _not_ try this feature with *~ or *.bak or *.o entries there, and reporting a bug that "it didn't work".
